Subject: Band Boosters Fruit Sale Final Week
Final Week
Hayfield Secondary School Band Boosters
Annual Florida Citrus Fruit Sale
October 11 – November 4
Delivery: December 8, 2011
Have you ever wondered how you can help the band boosters support the band program and earn money towards your student's spring band trip?
It's easy! Each year our band sells delicious fresh Florida navel oranges and red grapefruit in October for delivery in December. The fruit is picked and shipped within 48 hours of delivery to our school, and is the best that Florida has to offer.
During the sale, encourage your student to ask everyone they know – family, friends, neighbors, teachers, former band families, mail carriers, etc. – if they would like to buy fruit. You can even ask your coworkers. You'll be surprised how many people really look forward to our fruit sale each year. Some will buy it to help the band, others will buy it because they like your kid, and many will buy it just because they really enjoy the fruit.
Students will earn money in the form of credits to their spring trip accounts for each box of fruit you and they sell. The more they sell, the less the trip will cost. Some students have sold enough boxes to cover the final few payments of their trips.
Band students will be selling both single variety and mixed 10 lb. boxes of fruit this year.
Boxes of 16-18 Navel Oranges -- $18.00
Boxes of 8-10 Red Grapefruit -- $18.00
Mixed boxes of 6-8 Oranges and 5 Grapefruit -- $20.00
The following files are attached for your convenience
1. An EXCEL spreadsheet useful for tracking your sales especially if you have more than one or two orders.
You enter the customer's information and quantity of fruit ordered, and the spreadsheet will calculate the amount of the sale It also allows you to keep track of cash and checks received and shows the outstanding balance. Please print and return a completed copy of the spreadsheet with your order. Be sure that you have entered your student's name and your email and phone number in case we have any questions.

2. A customizable WORD document that your parents can circulate around their office. First download the document, then change the information that pertains to your child such as choosing son or daughter, adding in your child's name, the instrument and band(s) played in. Print and then circulate the form around your office. Be sure to sign the bottom, under Thanks again. An order form is also attached for your convenience and can be printed on the back of the customizable document. (customizable fruit info.doc)
